Various - Permanent Vacation 5

Review by Douglas English

The album Permanent Vacation 5 by Various is a collection of 15 tracks that offer a refreshing mix of genres, including indie pop, rock, and electronic dance music. The album opens with "All I Want" by Kodaline, a melancholic yet hopeful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The standout tracks include "Never Be Like You" by Flume featuring Kai, a catchy electronic dance track, and "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age, a classic rock song with a powerful guitar riff. The album also features lesser-known artists such as Day Wave and The Japanese House, who offer a unique sound that adds to the diversity of the album. Permanent Vacation 5 is a well-curated album that showcases a range of talented artists and is an enjoyable listen from start to finish.
